Bob, I think there is either a missing letter in the VIN, or the "8" has
been misread for a "B": GAN5UB..... This letter designates the model year.
I have a '73 Midget, GAN5UD126009G. The "D" means the 1973 model year (my
car was actually built in October 1972). I have the remains of
GAN5UC123512, which was a '72. Therefore, the "B" would fit for the '71
model year.

Subject: [Healeys] MG question
A friend has asked anout an MG Midget on ebay, the photo shows a roll-up
window
car. The VIN is GAN5U894909G and it is listed as a 1971. From Sprite
numbering I
would expect a GAN5 to have side curtains and not a anything close to a
1971.
Thoughts?
Bob
